Discussion of Sikh Gurdwara shooting and concealed carry
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
In case no one has reminded you lately, criminals don't care about gun laws. Places that have gun laws still have murders with what? Guns. And in the case of the shootings at the aforementioned tragedies? No one returned fire. In other words, the people in the theater were already disarmed! How are gun control people going to spin that?
Just a guess here, but if several people in either case had returned fire, the body counts would have been less tragic. Sorry about the dead people but nut-jobs, gangs and crooks don't give a rip...
I am starting to like them, too bad one or the other did not have a concealed carry permit.........unfortunately a dagger is no match for a gun
The author makes an excellent point; at the founding of their creed, their scripture demanded they be armed at all times.
Unfortunately, having a dagger at the ready is a bit outmoded.
In fact, in light of the march of history, and of recent events in particular, they might want to rethink their governing philosopy and require that all Sikhs, at all times, carry a quality semi-auto and know how to use it.
BUNS DON’T KILL PEOPLE!CARS DON”T KILL PEOPLE!!Need I say MORE???????????????????????????????????
The gun control nuts seem to forget that the greatest act of domestic terrorism, the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, was accomplished WITHOUT the use of any fire arms. Ditto the terrorism of 9-11 was accomplished without the use of any fire arms. Terrorist nuts will always be with us and their choice of weapons makes little difference to those who are killed. Even countries like Australia where gun ownership is virtually banned still have murders committed with fire arms.
I would LOVE to see the NRA offer to train the Sikhs in the safe and legal use of firearms to protect themselves.
This incident should prove to the Sikhs, and everyone else, that the police can not protect you from violence.
Citizens, trained and armed, are the only protection for their family and loved ones.
That’s the way it’s done here in America; welcome.
1) You cannot completely protect anybody from the actions of others. If you keep weapons out of the hands of the insane, the criminal, and the violent, you will have to limit everyone’s access to weapons. Potential weapons include practically everything: firearms, cars, trucks, planes, boats, sharp objects, insecticides, prescription drugs, and on and on.
2) The most recent deranged killer was a Neo-Nazi. Nazi are not extreme right, as noted by the press. They are extreme LEFT. Why, in Heaven's name, doesn't anybody stand up and say that THE NAZI PARTY IS A SOCIALIST ORGANIZATION!
